Chapter 90: The Sacrifice
After this banquet, Qiao Mu often received some posts inviting her to go out to the banquet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking of a group of little girls not playing well together, Qiao Mu felt bored, and he was not interested in it, and he pushed it off on the grounds that he still had to study the technique.
In the eyes of some people, Qiao's is a little ignorant of current affairs and shameless.
What makes the nobles of Yancheng even more incomprehensible is that Qiao Mu, a newcomer to the family, should have taken the opportunity to invite some nobles in the house after this banquet to increase their acquaintance and brush up their popularity, but this one was stunned and did not move at all.
This makes the people who see Qiao's in their eyes very puzzled, this young master Qiao has been in seclusion for a long time and doesn't understand the world.
In the eyes of those noble girls, they directly labeled Qiao Mu, a boring and dull woman who only knows how to study mechanisms. It's not worth taking to heart.
Qiao Mu is also willing to give people the impression of a technical nerd, and the messy things in the province are all intervened, and life can't go smoothly. She doesn't care about how others love to pass it on, in Qiao Mu's heart, he and this group of little girls are not of the same age, they are not a platform, and people really don't take these things seriously.
Whether it's Yan San or it's too expensive, I don't worry about it, but the parties don't care at all.
Qiao Mu led a group of guards from the Shaocheng Lord's Mansion in the mansion during this time, and the two farmers in the mansion concentrated on raising seedlings. Just waiting for the seedlings to be green, planting seedlings and planting.
When I was on the Zhuangzi, the arbor had a hotbed for cultivating seedlings, and the conditions here must not be as good as that side, and the arbor calculated, that is, the yield may be almost good, so when there was nothing to do at night, some rice seeds were smuggled over, and the yield was not enough, so it was better to make up for it from the quantity, anyway, the arable land in the house was enough.
I also pay attention to the proportion, the weight of the big iron bull, how many things are brought to Yancheng, outsiders are looking at it, it is too out of line, and Qiao Mu will not do things that make people pay attention, as for Yanyang, Qiao Mu basically didn't want to hide it from him, and he couldn't hide it.
It's just a matter of giving the bottom and how much to pay.
Of course, Yanyang is also credible, before the arbor seedlings, he also specially asked people to send a carriage of grain bags from the Shaocheng Lord to Qiao's Mansion, which is claimed to be rice seeds, but in fact, it is full of corn. This is to understand in my heart that Qiao Mu has other ways to get rice seeds to help cover it.
Qiao Mu sighed, it is rare that after Yanyang threw his sleeves and left, he still had this patience to show himself, it was rare for a half-old teenager to be so sensible. Think about yourself being a little ashamed, not as good as a teenager.
For this reason, he also specially smuggled a Tang knife to Yanyang and asked Steward Qiao to send it over, although he didn't say anything, he apologized, and the meaning of establishing diplomatic relations again was very obvious.
We are adults, how can we not let a child compare to it, her heart is also very broad.
As for Yan Yang's dissatisfaction with Tang Daoman, Qiao Mu didn't know. The young city lord is arrogant, and the gift is accepted, and there is no reply, a return visit or anything.
Qiao Mu asked people to clean up the land of the farm, and there were probably more than a dozen acres, which was enough in the eyes of Qiao Mu. However, Yanyang's guards still changed the wall connected to the two mansions into a door according to the young city lord's wishes, Yan Qing came over and said to Qiao Mu, the young city lord instructed that there is arable land, as long as there are rice seeds, they must be sown.
Qiao Mu thought about it with a black face, Yan Yang asked people to send a carriage of fakes, and thought that this kid was so kind, he was waiting for him here. secretly hated being banned with a Tang knife. It's not easy to get it. Not only is it not as good as doing things for others, but even the heart and eyes are much worse. It's really a depressing realization.
When the seedlings were green, the rice fields were already filled with water, and Qiao Mu gave a post to Miss Tongyan San of the Shaocheng Lord's Mansion in advance, writing the day of sacrificial rice planting.
The next day, the sky is beautiful, the wind and the sun are beautiful, early in the morning Yanyang and Yansan came to the house, today to plant seedlings, to prepare for the sacrifice. Qiao Mu had never seen the sacrifice here, and of course she hadn't seen the sacrifice anywhere. The whole person was in high spirits.
For so many days, it was the first time that Yan Yang had passed the house, although he didn't greet Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu saw the Tang knife on the waist of Yan Shaocheng's lord. The gifts are all on the body, and it is obvious that he should not be angry.
However, the young city lord is arrogant, and he has never spoken to himself first: "Young city lord, third lady, I'm tired today." ”
Qiao Mu warmly greeted the two sisters and brothers of Yanyang. It's as if nothing happened that day.
Yan Yang's dark robe, in the few months since he came back to Yancheng, he raised the young man with an excellent demeanor, a handsome face that has passed from a teenager to a young man, rigorous, solemn, just reserved and nodded at the arbor.
If it weren't for Qiao Mu knowing the details of this person, he would have almost been overturned after seeing this person's rogue, arrogant, skinny, and various styles without a lower limit.
It's better than the suave children I've seen when I go out. No wonder the two little beauties began to fight for the sake of this young city lord from such a big age.
Yan San's service is similar to Yan Yang's, depending on the color Yan Yang's clothes are heavier, and the style is only male and female.
Miss Yan San: "Qiao Mu doesn't need to be polite, it's my own business." ”
It's too expensive: "The young city lord and the third lady are all dressed with grades." You still dislike too many layers on weekdays, you look at the clothes of Miss Three, that is exquisite. ”
Listening to the tone, you can know that this grade of clothing is the pursuit of most women, don't you see that such a good woman is too expensive.
Qiao Mu looked at the past along what Taigui said, and the layers of clothes were tightly wrapped around Yan San's body, not too tired, but instead set off Yan San's body gracefully, swaying with his waist-length hair, which was very romantic. Especially when saluting, the figure is unobstructed.
Qiao Mu didn't count how many layers Yanshan encircled, no wonder it was so beautiful and graceful, and the girls without butts were wrapped up with big butts. Anyway, the clothes of this year are enough to pit people, if there is a year that likes plump buttocks, I'm afraid I'm going to go away, hehe can't see the figure wrapped under layers of clothes at all.
Taigui didn't know that his young lady was already obscene, far away, and thought that his young lady was envious of the grade of Miss Yansan, so he comforted and said: "Miss's clothes are not bad, but our house is not an official body, there is no grade, and the clothes worn by the young lady are only three or four layers worse than the third young lady." He also stretched out his finger and compared, and he didn't know whether to stimulate his young lady or comfort her young lady.
Qiao Mu said that he understood, so be it, the weather is okay. If it's in time for the summer, it's wrapped like this, and you can't let the prickly heat on your body be surrounded, and you will suffer if you think about it. This luxury and blessing are not something that everyone can enjoy.
Steward Qiao prepared three animals, fruits, and countless snacks, what made the arbor different was that there was still a handful of ears of wheat on the table, this thing was familiar, Yanyang, this kid, was so hearted, and he came back with a handful of ears of rice so far away.
Yan Yang took the lead, Qiao Mu and Miss Yan San flanked behind, the three of them held incense in their hands, bowed respectfully, saluted, and bowed, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. It's a good end.
After a set of procedures, Yan Yang and the guards began to plant seedlings, of course, Yan Yang was just for show.
Qiao Mu thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect that until the evening, the house took out the three livestock and six animals snacks and fruits to entertain the guards who planted rice, a vacant land in the farm, a bonfire was lit in the middle, and tributes were placed around, Yanyang, who was dressed like that, actually danced around the bonfire with the guards, a group of old men acted neatly and consistently, the scene was lively and grand, and there was a solemn and majestic faintly.
Seeing that Yan Yang led the group to provoke the gods, Qiao Mu originally wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh because of this grandeur. I was stunned.
Yan San sat on the periphery with Qiao Mu, Qiao Mu: "This custom is really grand, should every family be like this?" ”
Yan San: "Farming is a major matter of people's livelihood, so we must be cautious and solemn, and I don't know what the people are like, so it should be like this." After all, life can only be better when there is a good harvest and sufficient food. But all spring ploughing, autumn harvest, and annual festivals must worship heaven and earth. To show that the people of the Great Jin Dynasty do not forget the heaven and earth to give. ”
Qiao Mu looked up at the sky, the common people all looked at the sky to eat, and natural cultivation was very important: "It seems that during the autumn harvest, we have to let the Qiao steward prepare." ”
Miss Yan San also felt amazing that Qiao Mu could turn the topic to the autumn harvest, and nodded silently.
Qiao Mu: "Originally, I thought that Qiao Steward had prepared a lot of tribute, but now it's okay, it's for God to know, and the tribute people eat, so it's not a ban, but I don't know what to do with this cow, doesn't it mean that ploughing cattle can't be slaughtered at will." ”
Yan San: 'Such a grain and such a bumper yield, naturally we should be more cautious, just a cow. ’
Well, forget that there are two privileged classes here. Let's eat the beef.
What is surprising is that pork, which no one wanted to move more in the past, is now very popular. Seeing that the pork was welcomed, Qiao Mu smiled, and the slaughter of Steward Qiao was raised in his own house. Let's see the difference.
Qiao Mu specially sandwiched a piece for Yan San: "Try it." ”
Yan San likes food and knows a lot about these: "Pork." It seems to be a little different. ”
Qiao Mu: 'It's delicious, I'll have someone bring you some when I get back, and there are still a lot of them in the backyard.' ’
Yan Sanlian commented: 'How to cook, it can cook pork so specially. ’
Qiao Mu has always been very generous to Yan San, and promised boldly: "It's not that it's special, it's that I'm a pig who raises special." If you like to eat it, I'll ask someone to send two heads over when I go back. ”
There are many nobles who give gifts to Yan San, but there are really no pigs, even if they give them whole, they are not worth a few dollars. And it's not good to send pigs to the city lord's mansion, it's rare that Yan San thought about it for a while: "Let's send meat." ”
Well, neither of them treats themselves as outsiders.
Yanyang planted rice today, and the dancing looked like he was in good spirits, and Qiao Mu picked up his wine glass: "Today's everything, I have to thank the young city lord for bothering." ’
Yan Yang drank all the wine, and was heroic: "In the coming day, the harvest will be harvested, and the three of you and I will share these rice, which is also within our own responsibility." ”
Qiao Muxin said that it was right, but in the end, it was farming at home: "I still want to thank the young city lord." ’
Looking at this kid's serious appearance, it's not good to laugh with him for a while, apologize or something, even though I don't know what I said wrong last time.
Yan San: 'We should have thanked our sister and brother to the arbor, but without the arbor, we wouldn't know the beauty of this rice, and we wouldn't be able to eat such deliciousness.' Especially when I heard Qiao Mu talk about the yield of rice, if it can really be like this, it is a great blessing. ’
Reflecting the firelight, Qiao Mu's face turned red, thank Yuan Longping, this really has nothing to do with her: "It's the good fortune of the young city lord, and it's the rich land of my Yancheng that can make the grain abundant." Qiao Mu didn't dare to be such a compliment as Aman. ”
Yanyang: 'Let's wait for him to discuss this when he harvests autumn.' The two of them blushed together, and it was too early to say anything.
Yan Yang has seen the yield of these rice, not that he doesn't believe in the arbor, but he is afraid that the rumor will spread out, and if there is a case or something, it will not be good for the arbor to turn around. On the contrary, it is better to say less at this time, and wait for him to see the results in the future.
Qiao Mu: "What the young city lord said is that we will do our best, and the result will be all up to heaven." ”
Originally, Qiao Mu still wanted to get some fertilizer or something, but when he heard Yanyang say this, he blocked this idea, thinking that Yanyang attaches so much importance to rice, it is to be promoted in Yancheng, get some fertilizer or something, and his high yield is nothing, and the yield will not go up when he goes back to promote, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. Besides, if you make false numbers or something, that's wrong.
Yanyang: "You still have to do your best." ”
The three of them were here, and the guards couldn't let go of eating and drinking, and the three of them sat down for a while and turned to the living room to talk.
Qiao Mu seized the opportunity to talk to Yan Yang: "How about this knife." ”
Yan Yang's reserved opening: 'Not bad,'
It's not bad to get this sentence, Qiao Mu feels that it is not easy: "It's good that the young city lord likes it, Qiao Mu has been worried about it for a long time." ”
I was really careful to say this, and I valued and admired this young city lord clearly.
Although outsiders can't see it, Yan Yang's expression is indeed a lot soothing, this woman still knows how to please herself, even if she can still be saved, is she not so unsure of herself.
But the way of showing favor makes people dare not compliment, obviously it should be shy, and the desire to talk is still shy to show goodwill, how can this woman do it, so obscene, flattering, flattering, a villain's face, it's really impossible to see.
Yan Yang twisted his face, he was upset when he looked at her more, he was really wronged by marrying her. I'm giving myself a few knives like this, and I can't find this style of painting. Yanyang's neck is high, and he is arrogant again.
Qiao Mu didn't know a knife, and a sentence of weakness and flattery made Yanyang think so much. Marriage between these two people, Qiao Mu has never thought about its possibility, age, status is there, and he has no pedophilia.
Yan San concentrated on tasting the food, and turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the two.
Yan Yang took out a hollow gold pendant from his sleeve, and inside it was a small piece of purple jade. Throw it to Qiao Mu casually: "Don't you like this, this young city lord rewarded you, this young city lord is not a person who receives gifts for nothing." ”
Fortunately, the arbor was agile and took the things to help, looking at the objects in his hands, the purple jade was delicate, it looked like a good thing, and the gold wire weaving was even more exquisite, which made people love it, and sincerely complimented: "Thank you young city lord, Yan Chi's craftsmanship is really amazing." ’
Yan Yang, who originally had a good face, heard this, his face instantly deteriorated, and he snorted coldly and stopped caring with the arbor. This woman always had the ability to provoke him. (To be continued.) )
